A 27-year-old man, Chinalu Ogbonna has been apprehended in Umuahia, Abia State by the police for killing his father.
Chinalu, who is suspected to be
engaging in ‘Yahoo Plus’, was said to have strangled his 57-year-old father,
Mmaduka Ogbonna, at their residence at Umueze Road, Umuahia, before removing
his father’s left eye with the intention of using it for money ritual.
Confirming the ugly development
to journalists, the spokesperson of the Abia State Police Command, ASP Maureen
